Old saying which means close to the same thing as [i]If it walks like a horse, looks like a horse, and sounds like a horse, it's probably a horse, not an undercover zebra.[/i] People oftentimes see exotic features in mundane situations which aren't actually there. This is exactly what you are doing.

Well hop to it, people! If something really lousy happens we can always re-negotiate—and there are always other cities/civilizations/cultures.
How can I fix the phonology page to better represent the idea that voiced and unvoiced forms are interchangeable?
